TIPS
- Use More Aromatic Oils: Crush the mint leaves slightly before adding to release more aromatic oils.
- Use Chilled Water: Use chilled or filtered water for a purer flavour.
- Allow It To Rest: Allow the infusion to sit for at least 10 minutes if time allows, so longer resting enhances both taste and benefits.
- For Easy Cleanup: For easy cleanup, prepare in a water bottle with a fruit infuser basket.
VARIATIONS
- Add Lemon Or Lime: Add a slice of lime or lemon for added tang and vitamin C.
- Replace The Pineapples: Swap pineapple with mango or papaya for a tropical variation.
- For Spa-Like Twist: Add a few cucumber slices for a spa-like twist.
- Mix IT well: Mix in a small amount of grated ginger for added anti-inflammatory potency and a subtle zing.
PREPPING AND STORAGE
- Storage: Prepare in advance and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
- For Optimal Flavour: For optimal flavour, consume within 12 hours.
- Freezing: Do not freeze because fresh mint and pineapple texture degrade after thawing.
- To Preserve Freshness: Store in a sealed glass jar or bottle to preserve freshness and prevent contamination.
